ENDED AT LAST. THE STRIKE DECLARED OFF BY A LARGE MAJORITY. An Incendiary Attempt and an Assault on a Driver. The striking railroail employe's have at la.t foiitul ilTlecessary to acknowledge their "tie-up" a failure. Al a largely altendeil meeting of Ul* men at their headquarters early Wednesday evening a v.ito was passed declaring the strike "oft." Although tills artinii was advised long If i, even hy tuOM having ih" host Intel est s of the men at heart, they stithhornly refused to field Instead of submitting gracefully, as they might have dune al that time, they have heen forced into their present uuenvialile posiliiui.

The point blank refusal of Superintendent Bancroft lo take back any more of the old hum until the strike was declared off and the barges stopped, gave 'natters a decidedly unpromising aspect...

The French readings to be given by Profs. Bdcherand Cohn during the latter part&amp;lt;of March and in April, for the benefit of the library of tho French department, promise to be of great interest. The subjects chosen will interest varied tastes, including, as they do, both interpretations of French of the twelfth century, as found in the "Chanson de Roland," and selections from Alfred de Musset and Theodora de Banville. The concert to be given for the benefit of the American School of Classical Studies is another praiseworthy object. It Is well known In literary and scientific circles that this school is doing much toward giving American classical scholars a chance to take a position In the world of archaeological and philological research. The fact that Dr. Charles Waldstein has been appointed to the directorship of the school, on condition that a fund of $100,000 is secured, is also well known. It is toward furthering this end that Harvard's musical societies have fenerousl...

A Millionnaire's Secret. It Is said when A. T. Stewart of New York was a poor and obscure man, he once advertised for an errand boy, and from the scores of applicants made his choice upon the spot, without doubt or hesitation. And it Is further said, the choice was fortunate; tbat as the boy grew up be was advanced step after step, until he became partner, life-long friend of Mr. Stewart, and a mllllonnalre. Once he ashed Mr. Stewart why he selected hin , "Because you left the doors as you found them," was tbe Instant answer. The man had thought of many reasons, never of the right one. Now although It would not do to promise tbat every girl and boy who follows the er-rand-boy's example, will become a mllllonnalre, It is perfectly safe to say they will achieve success in whatever they undertake; for see what is Implied in the comparatively insignificant act of leaving a door as you find It: Observation, thoughtfulness, unselfishness, energy and good breeding.
